Queen Silvia Visits Düsseldorf - Queen Silvia returns to Düsseldorf for emotional charity visit and award
Queen Silvia of Sweden will visit Düsseldorf on Monday, returning to the city where she once earned her high school diploma. The trip will include official meetings, a visit to a children's charity, and an awards ceremony in her honour.
Her schedule begins at the State Chancellery, where Minister-President Hendrik Wüst of the CDU will welcome her. Later, she will tour the Childhood House, a refuge for children who have suffered abuse or violence.
In the evening, Queen Silvia will attend a ceremony to receive the title of *Düsseldorfer of the Year*. The award recognises her decades-long advocacy for children's rights, particularly through her work with the World Childhood Foundation.
The visit highlights the queen's deep connection to Düsseldorf and her ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable children. The city's recognition comes as she continues her global campaign for child welfare.
